REVIEW: England travel guide by Lonely Planet
Click HERE to buy the Lonely Planet England travel guide
This green and pleasant land, this sceptred isle, this crucible of empire and pioneer of parliamentary democracy: England is eccentric, exhilarating and endlessly intriguing. Puzzle the mysteries of Stonehenge, wander Oxford’s ancient cobbled lanes, or drink in the gorgeous view from a Lake District peak; all with your trusted travel companion.
Lonely Planet writer Oliver Berry explains why he loves England. "I've travelled all around the world, but England is wherei'm from, and i always find myself being drawn back home. I've hiked, biked and road-tripped the nation , from the tip of Cornwall to the coast of Northumberland, and it's the landscapes that make it special; its topography of craggy cliffs, green meadows, rolling hills, rural valleys and wild moors, all stitched together by miles of drystone walls hedgerows and footpaths. And, whereever you wander, you can always be sure of one thing - a village pub is never too far away. Now that's my kind of country."
